[lastbesthope]

Typos are treason citizen! Please report for immediate termination.

Begging Friend Computer's pardon, sir, but obviously the keys on my keyboard have been rearranged into a non-standard formation. A glance at historical records shows that this layout is similar to that used by the communists - they have managed to infiltrate our systems. I feel unjustly wronged by their actions, and would relish the opportunity to investigate how this could have occured (and must point out that Citizen Sher-I-DAN had command level access over this terminal at all times and must therefore know something of what happened to it, or be in breach of his responsibilities...). Terminated, I can be of no productive use to Friend Computer and wasting resources is really only one step away from communism...

Could someone explain what the Athena strain is? :shock:
The name sounds interesting

Consider yourself to be lasered until you are very very poorly then!

Neo, I'm having trouble thinking of a movie with a similar name.

Pretty old film by todays standards but it still gets aired every so often... was released in 1971, based on a Michael Crichton novel. I just learned the film in question is going to be turned into a mini series too..

Anyway thats more than enough clues as to the film title

 

[Tegman]

Will it be about a person, Athena, that strains herself? :shock:

J/K, but I would like to know a little more about it, if it's an adventure module or a factbook of some kind?

A strain sounds like a virus or something. Am I close?

Cant give details beyond the couple of non-specific comments I've already posted due to the whole NDA thing...its not my present to unwrap, its mongooses

But yes it is an adventure.

Great, that is excellent, and if it is like the rest of the books, as I'm sure it will be, it will be a great adventure.

Thought of it just after I logged off the boards. D'Oh.

Thanks for the hints, IMDB-fu confirmed my guess.

Interesting? I wonder if they are referring to the Shadow/ Drahk plague?

 

[Greg Smith]

I'm getting a sense of deja vu. :wink:

 

[lastbesthope]

Didn't you already say that?

The preview for Dawn of Destruction just went up, so hopefully The Athena Strain will get similar treatment within the month, and answer some of those niggling little NDA-protected questions

 

[lastbesthope]

Here's hoping

Unless it;s a Centauri campaign, it doesn't give us much insight!

Still, I'll be getting it!

LBH, you have just reminded me - are you _sure_ you cannot make it to our Open Day?

You'll be disappointed
